Nedeljko and Milka Adžić
I was inspired by the Leonardo codex, and I realized the polyhedra ilustred by Leonardo da Vinci .Those polyhedra was influenced by Greece of the IV century BC,by the Platonic and Euclidean solids:among these,the dodecahedron was seen as an image of the universe in its entirety.The polyhedra represent both Renaissance elements of suprise and modern sculpture,highlighting the relevance of Leonardo and his artistic-intellectual context in the present time
Perspective
The relationship between mathematics and artistic creation brings
our attention to Filippo Brunelleschi, who invented perspective
during the Renaissance period. The invention of perspective
overturned the Medieval settings and brought about fundamental
changes to the conception of painting. This was indeed a
historical moment, in which an artist also became a
mathematician.
In the Renaissance period, the use of polyhedrons and other
geometric forms became more and more frequent. Mazzocchio, the
popular Florentine headwear of the time, so became icon of
perspective. Due to its complex perspective form, it became a
challenge for many artists, including Leonardo da Vinci.
